Holy flaming crap! What is that last chant sample thing? Where is that from? Amazing.

Thanks Brother Jonathan. That chant sample thang is cult leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet and her followers, as heard on an LP called “Sounds of the American Doomsday Cults”.

PLEASE tell me where you got that Fajita commercial. That is, perhaps, the greatest commercial ever recorded.

Hi RDM
I served a brief, unpaid and ill-fated internship at a Dallas recording studio about 16 years ago. It was a studio that primarily recorded radio commercials. Believe it or not, they were proud enough of this ad to put it on a sample tape for a prospective client. They made the mistake of giving me the assignment of putting the sample tape together. So this sonic atrocity has been preserved for the ages. Even all those years ago, the Fajita Rita’s radio spot was badly dated. It conjures up images of a coked-up young man, dressed exactly like Michael J. Fox in his role as Alex P. Keaton on “Family Ties”, racing from the glass tower where he works, jumping in his Porsche Carrera, and heading on over to Fajita Rita’s, where he longs to rapaciously assault a hot folded tortilla (hopefully with his mouth, but one never knows…)
